Championship Event WATSON Challange
 
To all those attending Nationals/Championships in Atlanta, WATSON Robotics is challenging you and your team to a game of football on the Wednesday before the competition. April 20th at 3pm at Centennial Olympic Park. We will supply the cones, the balls and at least 8 students and up to 12 students/mentors to partcipate in a great game of football. Rain or Shine we will be playing out there and all teams are welcome to join us. We can play multiple games at this time and we would like to get an approximate number of how many will play. We would love to get a elimination style of tournament going if enough people are intrested. Wearing old team t-shirts would be recommanded and the play would likely be two hand touch. If you have any suggestions or would like to partcipate or watch reply to to this thread.

Nate Edwards
WATSON Robotics Team 957
Cornerback/Quarterback/Wide Receiver

P.S. After the game we can all celebrate by sending three representatives to uncrate as the rest of our team can relax in anticipation of the next day

We are always up for sports. However, i am not sure if we will be able to make it that early wednesday. I will ask the teacher who was arranging for the bus, and let you know if we will be playing :) .

We can always push it back to 5 if that is more convient for teams, just as long as it doesn't interfere with the uncrating on wednesday.

Ummm, I wasn't aware teams got to uncrate their robots Wednesday.

As far as I know, FIRST doesn't allow you in the venue Wednesday unless you're a volunteer. Uncrating should occur Thursday morning.

I would be up for some football myself, though. :)

ah, wow, I had no idea, thanks for pointing this out.

That should do a lot to help make Thursday morning a LOT less hectic in the pits.

Thats what you get for assuming you dont need to read that section of the rulebook since you aren't on a team anymore :rolleyes:

If I can convince some of my team members, we will definitely come. If not I wouldn't mind joining someone elses' team. But two-hand touch, I was thinking tackle will really show the spirit of FIRST.

hmmm I always though ultimate frisbee was the unofficial sport of FIRST competitions, but football is always fun.

The football game has been scheduled for 4:30 pm at the park. Uncrating is at 6 so this leaves at least an hour and half to play for the 3 team reps and then the rest of the team can keep playing or play frisbee, I will bring equipment for both.
